The softness, and the glare, and the temptations, and the licence, and the lax examples about us, are more seducing and dangerous than the winter of penal laws. They hardened the manhood of Catholic parents. The summer sun relaxes many.

More quotes by Henry Edward Manning

All human conflict is ultimately theological.

What is dogma but the intellectual conception and verbal expression of a divine truth?

No ignorance of truth is a personal sin before God, except that ignorance which springs from personal sin.

There are only two centres, God and ourselves; and we must rest on one or on the other.

Our character is our will; for what we will we are.
